Bijou Market

I'm not doing the market this year but 50 other amazing artists are!

Hope you're coming-

So How's Everyone?

I've been the worst blogger lately! I blame the insane amount of pom poms I have been making. I ended up making 6 wreaths for my local shows- yes I said 6! Each wreath had approximately 66 pom poms. So that's 6 x 66 = 396 pom poms! Let's just say I'm a little over pom poms & I still have one more wreath to make- but it's top secret who it's for....

I haven't even shown you the pom pom trees I made. Super cute & kind of fun. Baby pom poms are so much quicker to make than the big ones. 

Bijou Market November 19th & 20th

I'll be selling my goods along side Susan Petersen of Freshly Picked this coming Friday & Saturday in Provo City. This is why I've been missing this week & may be missing for a while. 

Here are some of the new goods I've been working on for the upcoming shows.

mess cloths for under your highchair or to use on your table while the kids draw or play with their play dough.

reusable snack sacs- perfect for kids or adults

all purpose wet sacs- great for diapers & wipeys or little one's dirty clothes

I still have a couple new tricks up my sleeve- we'll see if I can get them made by Friday...

p.s. have I mentioned that I have 2 amazing interns! They are the only reason I've been able to get so much done these last couple of weeks. Cutting everything out for me. I have piles of goods to sew for weeks. I'll be featuring them on here next week when I have a little more time to be on this computer.

Halloween DIY Club

I thought this months DIY was tons of fun! We got our idea from The Graphics Fairy Karen is super generous with sharing the graphics she finds or creates-  she also turns them into usable PDF's for you. When she did her Halloween hoop art she printed them through her computer. Since we have such a large group for DIY club I decided we should screen print them instead. 

It was still a lot of work but the prints look amazing. We were able to finish up our screen prints that night. Everyone was busy either ironing-  cutting- screen printing or mod podging. I wasn't able to put everything together till the next day. Yes- I should be sewing like a mad woman for The Bijou Market & The Beehive Bazaar but I couldn't pass up having one last week to hang these in my house. {plus quilt club is at my house tonight so I wanted to show them off}

this is another one of the DIY Club projects of the night. You can see a tutorial from Amy here thanks to her my little halloween family got cut out. I screen printed the haunted house onto the striped paper before I put everything together.

Here are a few pics from DIY night that I stole from Amy's blog

I also made a few toddler t-shirts because I love this print so much

Still Recovering

from last Saturday!

8:00am The Bijou Market (in orem)- 1pm Baby Shower (in orem)- 6pm Bijou Clean Up- 7:30 Co-Ed Baby Shower (in alpine) Now Keep in mind I live 45 min north of orem

So I started my Saturday way too early (i'm not a morning person & I had 4 hours of sleep) by driving down to Orem with Susan to set up for The Bijou Market one of the best gals to share a booth with. How amazing is her stuff! & she's the perfect companion to travel 45 min each way with. We can talk about anything & we DO! Then I went back to SLC to change & pick up little pookie. Then back to Orem for a baby shower. Then I went & hung out with one of my besties Stacy & my Aunt Maryann. Then back to the Market to pick up my goods & then to my brother & sister in-laws baby shower.
